This is the most annoying thing I have found with the iOS 5 betas. Every time I start playing music and stay listening for a while, when I wanna go to a different album or something, the back button on the music app gets replaced by a store one that takes me to the iTunes Store, and I always end up clicking it (after all, I have been using that button to get back for 4 years), I don't wanna purchase anything!!!! Is this by design or just a silly bug? If it is by design, hope that Apple gets enough negative feedback to remove it once it is released!
 
Already did, wanted to know some other thoughts on this.
 
LOL there's a button in the music app that takes you from the iPod to the iTunes store to buy something? Talk about corporate marketing.

I can picture the Apple meeting at a big oval table where someone comes up with this idea and gets a few high-fives.

The worst thing is that they replace a frequently used button BACK after some time when you don't notice, and when you actually click oh surprise, it was no longer BACK but it was Store! now if you want to go back you have to click on artist or albums buttons at the bottom!

That's crap! I don't use the music app that much but that would surely aggregate me. Totally goes against the expected UI behavior.
 
This will only help for when you're on the playback/album art view (not the one where you see list of albums, list of songs, etc). Swipe right in the middle of the album art to go back (so it's like you're moving to the left). Takes two tries sometimes.
 
Agreeeeeeeee..... Grrhrhhhhhhhrrrhhhhhrrhhh

That's my feedback...

Dear apple team,
The rediculously big "store" button in the new music app is the most annoying thing a music app can have. In the iPhone is not tha irritating, yet. What on earth are you doing ?? I am an apple user and fan since 2004. iTunes is the biggest music store in the world. You don't need a cunning, irritating, disfunctional and lame button in the enviroment a user listens to music. That's something other companies do and there's a reason they are not that succesful. Please take that button off the music app !!!! Where is the ad free spirit ???? I have an entire app to browse and buy music, I don't need a gigantic button in the music app to make it easier.
This button is making me feel abused !! Take it out !!
